Jiang Yufen didn't know how she got back to the Chen Mansion.
It was Chen Ziyue and Xu Zitao who secretly sent her back through the secret door in the back garden.
The front yard was full of guests and the atmosphere was festive and noisy.
On a wedding day, you cannot openly ask for help from a doctor in a clinic, so as not to spoil the joy. You can only ask for a doctor in a pharmacy, and you have to enter through a side door.
Madam Ye received the servant's message and brought her maid to see Jiang Yufen. Her tone was colder than the wind outside. "What kind of trick is feigning illness? Do you think I haven't seen it before? I asked you to take good care of the flowers, but today, the buds are just opening. You are being passive and lazy like this, are you blaming the Chen family for not respecting you? Come on, lock the gate and don't let Zijing in."
Jiang Yufen shed tears silently. The two flower buds would soon wither.
The little maidservant stood by the cold bed, weeping, "Miss, I'll go to the pharmacy outside to boil some medicine for you. You must drink a bowl of hot medicine, so as not to let the root of the disease grow."
The Chen family has confined them to their homes, so they can only sneak out to get and boil medicine.
Jiang Yufen opened her eyes and pulled off the jade pendant from her neck: "Go find the Second Young Master."
The jade pendant was the oath made by the three of them to be brothers and stand by each other through thick and thin.
Chen Ziyue hurried over the wall and stood in the locked courtyard. Listening to the laughter and noise outside, he sighed deeply and pushed the door open. "Jiang Feng, what do you want me to do for you?"
Jiang Yufen looked at Chen Ziyue, her words clear and distinct: "If you still consider me a brother of the trio, then send me back to Zhujia Village and Taoyuan Villa! I would rather die than become a ghost of the Chen family!"
My grandfather’s herbs are the most popular medicinal materials purchased by pharmacies in the capital.
There is no cure for her disease in the capital.
Chen Ziyue saw the determination in Jiang Yufen's eyes and felt sad. "There's still half an hour before the city gates close. It's getting dark. Can you hold on?"
We can only travel overnight.
Ice and snow, biting cold wind
Jiang Yufen looked at the top of the tent: "Yes!"
Go no matter what.
Staying a moment longer, every moment is heartbreaking.
Chen Ziyue and Xu Zitao did not dare to bring servants with them, so they arranged the carriage themselves. After leaving the city, they followed Jiang Yufen's instructions, tied long wooden boards under the wheels, and harnessed two wolfhounds to make a sled carriage.
Jiang Yufen curled up in the carriage, her body tightly curled up like a flower bud.
She held on with all her might, determined to see her grandfather, just to say sorry to him in person.
She was stupid and didn't listen to the old man, so she suffered the consequences.
Her happiness was destroyed by her own hands.
She shouldn't have thought that just because she saw flowers blooming in the spring, she could build a greenhouse in the harsh winter and the flowers would still bloom.
Her blind self-confidence and fearlessness destroyed all her thoughts about the world.
Zhu Qingwei was awakened in the middle of the night. Seeing his granddaughter breathing more than breathing in, he knew that she was determined to die, and his heart was broken beyond words.
Jiang Yufen's tears had dried. "Grandfather, if there is an afterlife, I would rather live alone than marry."
Protect the green mountains and clear waters, and be a free and easy wanderer.
Zhu Qingwei burst into tears: "My child, the relationship between ruler and subject, father and son, is the most cold and ruthless encounter in the world. Men can do nothing about it. If you, a weak woman, want to change it, you can only destroy the root of it yourself."
In order to prevent his daughter from being burdened by the hustle and bustle of the world, he resigned from his official position and returned to the countryside, letting his daughter marry a minor official, just for a stable and peaceful life.
Who would have thought that in the end, the son-in-law already had concubines and illegitimate daughters, and his only granddaughter ended up in a miserable end.
Chen Ziyue felt sorry for Jiang Yufen: "Jiang Feng, you have to take good care of yourself. My brother will change his mind."
That princess is just a figurehead, she is nothing compared to the charming and sweet Jiang Feng!
Jiang Yufen shook her head gently: "I will never change my mind in this life."
Chen Ziyue and Xu Zitao exchanged a glance, knowing something was amiss. "You've already taken Mr. Zhu's herbal medicine. You'll be fine in a few days. I need to get home before dawn, or else Father will scold me and put me under house arrest. I'm afraid I won't be able to come see you again."
Jiang Yufen smiled one last time and took out a flower seed from her treasured box and handed it to her good friend who treated her like a brother. "Chen Ziyue, Xu Zitao, I will always remember your friendship in escorting me all the way through the cold night. Plant this flower seed again in the spring of three years. If it sprouts, it will be the day I...will be reborn."
Don't tell anyone where I am. Madam Ye will remember me in three days, and you don't have to say anything good about me."
Chen Ziyue and Xu Zitao were young after all, and had never experienced the separation of life and death. They didn't know the hidden meaning in Jiang Yufen's words. Seeing that it was getting late, they didn't dare to stay any longer and rushed back to the capital.
The red confetti on the roof had long been covered by the heavy snow, leaving no trace.
Chen Ziyue didn't want to see what his elder brother looked like, so he went back to the Imperial College without even changing his clothes, planning to go see Jiang Feng with Xu Zitao in a few days.
Madam Ye was so angry that she gritted her teeth in the main hall. The princess had to follow the rules and pay her respects to her family members on the first day she entered the house, but Jiang disappeared and her second son ran away.
After finally getting through the situation, the maid came to report: "Madam, the flowers and plants in the mansion are starting to turn yellow and wither."
Madam Ye was furious. "It must be Jiang who did this. She poisoned the flowers and plants without telling me. She pretended to be sick first, and now she's running away because she's afraid of my punishment. Humph, now that you're gone, don't even think about entering the Chen family again!"
Chen Zijing was in the general's study discussing the expedition with his father. He dismissed his mother's anger, reported by his attendants. "Father, Fen'er is very well-behaved and obedient. My father-in-law will definitely send her back. The princess is sensible and understanding. When I return from this expedition, they will surely live in harmony like real sisters."
Chen Jinzhong lamented, "Alas, if Prime Minister Zhu hadn't pledged his life to defend me in front of the Emperor, my life would have been lost to the enemy. I wouldn't have seen your brother born, and I wouldn't have seen you marry! I broke my promise, and his granddaughter suffered injustice. I will personally go to Mr. Zhu and apologize someday."
Jiang Yufen didn't wait for Chen Jinzhong to come.
Less than an hour after Chen Ziyue and Xu Zitao left, she closed her mouth and nose, and died with resentment and indignation.
The flowers and plants in the Chen Mansion withered and turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Before Madam Ye could order people to go to the Jiang family to capture Jiang Yufen and bring her back home to be punished, all the people in the capital who had bought flowers and plants from the Jiang family and the Chen family came to look for her.
It turned out that it was not just the Chen family. All the flowers and plants that Jiang Yufen had raised, whether they were newly bought or bought a few years ago, were withering.
Mrs. Ye had no choice but to obey General Chen's words, sent the housekeeper to the Jiang family to pick up the person, and promised to let bygones be bygones.
Unexpectedly, the Jiang family was also in chaos, but Jiang Chang was still promising his friends: "Wait until spring. In less than three months, there will be new flowers and plants for you to take home."
Seeing the people coming from Chen Mansion, Jiang Chang immediately understood why the flowers and plants were withering, and he was horrified: "Yufen will not live long."
Taoyuan Villa in Zhujia Village is deserted.
Three days later, all the flowers and plants that Jiang Yufen had raised were gone.
From then on, there was no more flower god in the capital.
